Title: What websites do you use to read about technology news?
Post by: edzha90 on October 30, 2018, 11:49:47 PM

I am looking for an android app or website where I could read about the newest news in technology. What do you use?

Regards

Hacker News is great.

https://news.ycombinator.com

The links and comments are really well-moderated. The design is simple and easy to use.

The site was built from scratch, using a custom dialect of the Lisp programming language, developed by the site's author.

The whole site application runs on a single core, in a single thread, using a single database instance. A really impressive feat of engineering.

Not really knowing much about the site beyond the fact it exists, When you mentioned a feat of engineering with Lisp, my first guess was the site's author was Paul Graham... and it is!

Paul Graham also writes a lot of pretty good essays. I don't always agree with them but they are all brilliantly written. I like the one about Programming Language Power, as well as his concept of the "Blub Paradox".

I sort of just pay attention to Intel, AMD, and NVidia with their own news of what is coming next for processing power and features.

Ages ago I registered with https://www.computerworld.com/news/ and they send e-mail daily to an old e-mail that is a dumping zone for just about every site out there that I registered with that would be a spam e-mail dumping ground. Other registered sites go to a more frequently checked e-mail which are the ones that might send out an e-mail to me once a week or lesser frequency.

I also am on TechRepublic's news daily news spam e-mail list. https://www.techrepublic.com/

Second HackerNews. The comments section always has tons of insights.

I also like that HN's feed isn't just tech news; anything interesting often makes it to the top, including weird Wiki entries, pieces about cultural artefacts, and historical trivia

Plus, they do a good job of keeping politics out of the board

I have The Register in my favourites. Stands out from the crowd in many ways. Not in the pocket of Big Tech either.
